GIS Mapping: Creating Solutions for Rock Creek Lake, 2004

Abstract

Rock Creek Lake is at risk. The centerpiece of Rock Creek State Park in Jasper County, Rock Creek Lake offers visitors a range of recreational opportunities, including the second busiest campground in Iowa and great fishing. However, many different factors are threatening the lake. Action is being taken to improve the lake for today’s visitors
and to preserve the lake for future generations. GIS mapping is helping to make those improvements possible.
